Step away from the omelette: Eating just half an egg a day increases your risk of DEATH by 7% - unless you ditch the yolks, researchers claim

Boiled, fried, scrambled or in an omelette, whole eggs pose a threat to health and eating more of them increases your risk of death, a study claims.

Researchers found eating just half a whole egg — which includes the yolk and the white — increases the likelihood of dying by seven per cent.

Risk of death increases by a further seven per cent for every half an egg on top of this, so a person eating one egg a day has at 14 per cent greater chance of death than someone who avoids the food.

Chinese researchers who led the study believe high fat and cholesterol levels in eggs are to blame.

They warned that people should use only the whites or switch to healthier egg substitutes, which lower the risk of dying.

Substituting an equivalent amount of nuts or legumes for half a whole egg reduced death rates by up to a third. Poultry, dish or dairy products had a similar effect.

THIS nonsense again? They were pushing the same thing forty years ago! Food fads come and go then come back again with newer dumber generations.

increases your risk of death

Last time I checked, that risk was 100% for all of us.

Hard to believe they tested ½ egg portions. Are they talking about ostrich eggs? Alligator eggs? Perhaps China seeks a worldwide glut of eggs to reduce costs. Why would anyone trust China for dietary recommendations?

This is BULL. It’s an attempt to reduce self-sufficiency, since they know that many homesteaders and preppers have chickens and eat eggs.

Wow, than,s for the. Rundown of the Article. Total nonsense study. They apparent,apparently, didn’t even bother finding g out the causes of the deaths it seems? Just found a common denominator? As scientists,, they should know that Correlation does not = causation.

Show me where people who eat eggs everyday die of heart attacks or artery diseases more often, and then they might have something. A 7% supposed I crease could be caused by any number of things like even being less active that non egg eaters, or egg eaters eating more junk food or fast food because they are poorer and can’t afford to eat better, or whatever. Way too many variables to say that egg yolks caused the deaths

Lord I am a dead man walking

Me too.

I eat three a day, minimum, everyday.

Hard boiled, soft boiled, sunny side up, scrambled, with cheese and bacon and sausage and ham and beef and potatoes and onions and peppers and on and on.

I'm going to be 8 decades old this year and have been eating eggs, almost everyday, since I built my own chicken coop at age 10-11.

I raised chickens and provided both eggs and meat for our family of 7 until I went into the Army and my baby brother took over chicken tending.

This study is crap.

Mikey got the crazy wife Catherine Zeta-Jones who is truly crazy as she’s diagnosed as bipolar, but she’s aware of it and takes care to control it.

But Mikey can’t blame her for her episodes of insanity. He should take a cue from George Carlin about men and women:

“Here’s all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.” — George Carlin

Another phony “study.” I totally discount these fraudulent attempts to make their “researchers” famous. They are worth nothing.
